Description

I had wanted to make a ligth and pretty lace dress with heartcut in the front and open lace back for some time and when I found an old lace tablecloth from a triftstore, I though that it would now be the time to finally make my dreamdress real. By chance we had also this fancy dinner for our school’s gaduates coming, so I decided to make the dress for that occassion. I must say that I had (again..) a perfect timing with finishing the dress as I sew the last buttons 20 minutes before I had to run out the door for my ride! Despite that I sew it in a hurry, I’m still happy how the dress looks. The “buttonholes” are made by crocheting and the buttons are simply some pearls.

This is just amazing!I love all your projects and I think you are really talented!The fact that you made this from a tablecloth is just unreal!Can I ask how you finished the neckline and the armholes?You seriously gave me so much inspiration now!Amazing work!

Thank you so much, now you’re making me really happy! I finished the neckline and armholes just by turning the edge of the fabric creating 0,5 cm seam allowances and the sewing close from the edge. Sorry for my bad explanation.. :’)

hehe, thank you again for your incredibly kind words, I feel almost abashed..:‘) And I’m happy to give you a few advice! The dress is actually quite simple, I think that the fabric itself makes a lot. You could use some simple dress pattern for the bodice, just make sure it has some darts for the fit. The skirt is just a gathered circle skirt. I first worked the lining and the lace separately on the bodice, but it would maybe be easier to sew the lining to the lace as a first thing (however then the seamallowances will show on the backside). I hope my explanations were understadable and you got some help, good luck with your sewings:)

thank you!! The skirt is just an ordinary circle-skirt (not full nor half but something between..). For the bodice I drafted a pattern little based on a vintage pattern, that I used for my “blue winter ball” -dress, but I’m quite sure you could use some other simple bodice pattern for your dress:)
